Julie's Pineapple Square

Random Quick Tip!

Coat the inside of Paper Beads.
To coat the inside of paper beads, without letting them stick to everything. After you are done glazing the outside of the beads, thread a 6-8 inch piece of worsted weight yarn, (or yarn that will completely fill the hole, when doubled up), onto a needle that will fit inside the glazed and dried beads, dip the yarn, being careful not to get the needle wet, pass the wet yarn through the bead coating the inside only. If the glaze is on the outside of the hole, just wipe it off on a piece of paper towel. Set the bead aside to allow to dry.
